help!wireless not working on bakctrack!!!!!!

hi
i have compaq presario v4118AP, it has an inbuilt 'Broadcom 802.1b/g WLAN' mini pci wireless card.
now this is not detected in backtrack i have done a lot of googling but in wain. i have been to the 'my slaxs' website. have seen irongeeks tutorial on how to inject modules... but the problem is==== i just dont know which driver to use.......and i have read the faqs on remoteexploit.
i contacted the online technician on the HP website and he/she said the HP has not released drivers for linux operating systems
i really need help here

Chances are backtrack doesnt support your wireless cards chip set, you may need to end up getting a pcmcia card that has a prism or orinoco (lucent) chipset. Theres a few other chip sets that work without having to use driver wrappers. But if your planning on using wireless with a linux distro your going to have to research what chipsets will work with the distro that your planning on using.
